If the diameter is 7 1/2 inches, isn't that rather thick?

The actual pole is standard size for Shepherd's hooks you see at Lowe's, ect. I think the 7 and 1/2 inch diameter includes the projection of the hook and (maybe) the anchor foot. It is well-proportioned and a great height for butterfly feeders or light-weight plants you want hung closer to the ground. It is too low for a bird feeder. I think the height is the more important feature. The taller Shepherd's hooks I've purchased at Lowe's have a much wider diameter.

The metal rod itself is only 1/4 inch (0.25") in diameter. The 7 1/2 inches mentioned in the description is the (horizontal) distance between the center bottom of the "hook" and the vertical portion of the rod - i.e., the distance between the place where you hang something and the long vertical rod you stick into the ground. If you hang something (from it's center point) that is more than 15 inches wide, then it will hit up against the vertical rod.

T. Riley is correct, except it's closer to 1/2" or .050" diameter because I fitted it into an extension pole. The L bracket leg is close to 1/4" .025". But with that being said, I bought mine at Lowe's.

The bottom slot appears that it could handle something that is nearly 1/2 inch thick.

I checked with a ruler and to be safe I'd say 7mm, but it could be slightly less than that.

It's not very thick, but I couldn't tell you the exact diameter. Ask the seller

I would say it's approximately one and a half to two inches thick. We use it for the same thing and it makes a huge difference!

I just measured mine. It is 5/16th of an inch thick. So that's slightly thicker than one-fourth of an inch.

It is close to 1 inch on the inside measurement. Definitely more than 1/2 inch.

Probably. It seems quite flexible as far as size and thickness goes. Very solid.

At its thickest, 2 inches or 5 centimeters. It's mostly 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters.

Actually, it is just slightly thicker than one half inch. (Mine measures .577 with my trusty digital caliper, accurate to .001)

I dont have it in front of me but it is a little thicker than a mora. Not quite 1/8inch but close. Definitely has some flex to it.

No. I measured mine for you. It is less than 1/2 inch. Looks like roughly 3/8 or maybe just a bit more.

Most likely. It is a touch wider than thick but close to the size of the thickness of a water bottle.

I am not at the house right now so I cant give an exact measurement, but I'd say it is close to 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

This product's diameter has diameter that is a little bigger than 1/2-inch. Please check if this brand carries a model with a smaller diameter. In terms of quality, this product is excellent.

I'd say it's a touch larger than that, perhaps 9/16" or 5/8". Don't have a ruler or anything handy to be precise, but yes, it's at least that.

I remeasured mine and it's 2 1/2 inches thick when closed. Very well made from what I can tell too.
